Description: | A silver Medieval coin of Scotland; a penny of David I of Scotland (1124 - 1153), Period A (1136 - 1145), same type as for Henry I of England, type XV but in the name of David. It was minted at Carlisle after 1136. According to Seaby Volume 2, no coins appear to have been issued for David until 1136 when he and his son captured Carlisle and the nearby silver mine and working mint. Previously, Carlisle was an English mint. The moneyer of Henry I's last type (type XV) at Carlisle was Erebald and when new coins were issued for King David, the same reverse design was used. See Seaby Volume 2 number 5001 and North Volume 1 number 910. Also compare North volume 1 number 871 for an English example.The coin was bent when found and has subsequently been straightened.
